Study Notes
Breakdown Categories
- Breakdown categories categorize sub-assignments for financial statement (FS) items during consolidation.
- Each FS item's breakdown category dictates the sub-assignments recorded in the ACDOCU table.
- If a category allows it, missing sub-assignments might be derived.
- Supported breakdown categories include: partner unit, subitem category, subitem, transaction currency, and unit of measure.
- Breakdown category types dictate how sub-assignments are handled.
- Type 0: No breakdown.
- Type 1: Optional breakdown; initialized value allowed.
- Type 2: Required breakdown; default value used if blank.
- Type 3: Required breakdown; entry forced, default allowed.
- Type 4: Required breakdown; entry forced, default not allowed.
Subitem and Subitem Category
- Subitems are crucial for assigning sub-tasks to FS items.
- Subitem categories categorize these subitems, enabling classification.
- Breakdown categories assign both subitem categories and subitems to relevant FS items.
- Predefined subitem categories in the SAP standard system:
- Transaction Types
- Functional Areas
Transaction Types
- Used for balance sheet items only.
- Categorize business transactions (opening balance, incoming units, net variation).
- Highlight FS item developments, relevant for cash flow statements.
Functional Areas
- Used for income statement items only, enabling a drilldown to functional areas.
- Group expenses and revenues based on cost of sales accounting by business functions (e.g., production, marketing, sales, administration, R&D ).
- Used to report summarized profit and loss data.
